Bonnie: Morning, all. How are the future bride- and groom-to-be this fine
day? Why are you here? Did we have plans?

Bonnie: Do we have plans? Only the wedding of the century and very little
time left to plan it.

Mimi: No, Mother. We told you we want to keep things small.

Bonnie: You still need a dress, don't you? And I happen to have here some
sketches that I think you're going to love, courtesy of Kate and Basic Black --
all designer originals, of course. Shawn, honey, want to come over and take a
look at these?

Mimi: No. You don't have to leave. Mother, you could have at least called.

Shawn D.: It's all right. This way I get out of doing dishes, anyway. I'm
just kidding. I'll come back, I'll do them later, okay?

*************************************************************

Mimi: I really wish you hadn't done this, Mom.

Bonnie: Why? What did I do? I'm the mother of the bride. I'm supposed to be
helping you.

Mimi: I know, but --

Bonnie: But what? What's wrong? You and Shawn didn't have a fight, did you?

Mimi: No.

Bonnie: Then what is it, baby? Something's upsetting you. I can tell. Just
tell me.

Mimi: Belle and Shawn were talking on the roof last night, and I overheard
them.

Bonnie: They were up there alone?

Mimi: They thought they were.

Bonnie: But you were eavesdropping?

Mimi: Belle told Shawn that she's still in love with him.

Bonnie: What?

Mimi: Oh, I shouldn't have told you.

Bonnie: No, I don't need a cigarette. I just quit again. Wrong time to quit
again. All right, look. We need to do something -- damage control.

Mimi: What damage control?

Bonnie: You have to marry Shawn A.S.A.P. before he finds out he's the father
of Belle's baby. We cannot give those two a chance to get back together again.

*************************************************************

Shawn D.: I'm glad I ran into you because... I want to talk to you about last
night. That cannot happen again. I felt terrible lying to Mimi and to Philip,
too. Neither one of them know we were up here, and they don't know --

Belle: What, that I still love you? I'm glad I ran into you, too, because
I've made a really important decision.

*************************************************************

Kate: Look, I'm gonna have my attorney post bail, okay?

John: It's okay. Frankie's already on it. He's got a meeting with the Judge
this morning.

Kate: Okay. Is there anything else I can do?

John: I think you've already done it just by being here.

Kate: Well, you know I'll always be here for you.

John: Well, I know that you're the best friend I ever had.

Kate: So, um, how'd this happen, anyway?

John: I've been framed. North's trying to pin a crime on me that he
committed.

Kate: You mean Lois didn't commit suicide, she was murdered.

John: I know for a fact she was, and if I don't get out of here soon,
Marlena's gonna be next.

*************************************************************

Marlena: Mmm, yum. Want some coffee?

Alex: Yes, please. I could use it. I barely slept last night.

Marlena: I was about to say that you look wonderfully rested.

Alex: Well, thank you. I just couldn't stop thinking about poor Lois. I know
she was a threat to you -- she tried to kill you. But still, she was a very sick
woman, and I just have this feeling that as her former doctor, I've -- thank
you. I've failed her somehow.

Marlena: Well, you couldn't have known what was going to happen. You couldn't
have guessed what John was going to do. I know it isn't how you feel, but you
said yourself -- John giving her that truth serum was clearly what put her right
over the edge.

Alex: Of course it was. But still, I should have suspected that he was going
to try something. I mean, the man will do anything to be with you. He's
obsessed. And obsession can lead a person to madness.

Marlena: It can also lead a person into committing a terrible kind of crime.
The little I remember of my psychiatry, I remember that those people can fool
anybody -- family, friends, even a trained professional. I would no more have
suspected John of that sort of behavior than I would have suspected you of it.

*************************************************************

Jennifer: Leg's looking pretty good there, huh?

Frankie: Yeah. Feels pretty good.

Jennifer: Yeah? Good.

Frankie: Girls still asleep?

Jennifer: Yeah. They didn't have any classes this morning. I still feel so
uneasy having Chelsea in my home. I know that she's Abby's best friend, but Hope
is my cousin and she's my best friend. And because of Chelsea, now, we don't
have Zack anymore.

Frankie: I know. But it was an accident.

Jennifer: It was an accident, but she shouldn't have been driving that car.

*************************************************************

Frankie: Chelsea! Good morning.

Chelsea: Morning.

Jennifer: Did you sleep okay?

Chelsea: Not really. But that's not your fault. Um, I just wanted you to know
that I appreciate you letting me stay here. I mean, I know it must be really
awkward for you. I just -- I can't be around Patrick right now. Not after what
he did.

Jennifer: He was telling the truth.

Chelsea: Yeah, but I think the truth just made it worse for everybody. I
mean, not that I don't think that I'm the one that's responsible, because I know
that I am, I just -- I just have to live with what I did for the rest of my
life. Speaking of which, um, Frankie, I was wondering if I could talk to you
about my case. You're still planning on representing me, I hope?

Frankie: Of course.

Jennifer: Someone's pulling up. Excuse me. Oh, gosh, it's Hope.

Chelsea: Great.

Jennifer: Would you guys mind talking in the kitchen? Hope is upset enough
right now. She doesn't need to see you.

Frankie: That's a good idea. Come on, Chelsea, let's get you some coffee..

*************************************************************

Jennifer: Well, that sounded really good. Now, why don't you tell me the
truth? How are you really?

Hope: You know how I am. What about you?

Jennifer: I'm the same. Hey, you want some coffee?

Hope: Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks. I hope you don't mind my dropping in
without calling.

Jennifer: Are you kidding me? Come here any time you want. So tell me what's
going on with you and Bo. Have you worked things out?

Hope: No, we didn't work things out. In fact, I threw him out. He's gone..

*************************************************************

Billie: Okay, it's not the Salem Inn, but it'll do on such short notice. Give
me that.

Bo: Where are we? What are we doing?

Billie: I told you, we're at a motel. And you didn't want to go back to
Patrick's, remember? Neither one of us wanted to go back there, so since it's
3:00 A.M., this was the only room I could get on such short notice. Come here,
Bo. Bo, we've got to get your clothes off so you can get some sleep, okay?

Bo: Okay.

Billie: Come on. Good boy.

Bo: Sleep is good.

Billie: Okay, Bo.

Bo: Sleep is good.

Billie: Sleep is good.

Bo: I'm tired. Very tired.

Bo: I still love you.

*************************************************************

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives.

*************************************************************

Bo: I'll always love you, Fancy Face.

Billie: You always will, won't you? You and I are just friends. That's all
we'll ever be.

Bo: And they lived happily ever after. End of story. Just like you, me, and
mommy and Shawn and Chelsea. We'll always be together.

Hope: That's right. That's something you can always count on.

Bo: Mm-hmm.

Hope: Ooh, mommy got lipstick on you. Sorry. [Laughing]

Bo: No one can break us up.

*************************************************************

Chelsea: So tell me, Frankie, how bad will it be if Hope convinces the Judge
to give me the maximum sentence?

Frankie: All right, I'll be honest with you. The parents of the victim can
hold a lot of weight. And if Hope can't forgive you, if she's still determined
to see you pay --

Chelsea: Then the Judge will listen to her.

Frankie: He or she will want to do right by the family, yes. And that can
mean serious jail time.

Chelsea: Well, what if Bo is on my side?

Frankie: That would help. But I wouldn't count on that. I know he loves you,
but he also loves Hope and Zack. And if he's forced to choose sides, I'm afraid
he's not gonna take yours.

Chelsea: We'll just see about that.

*************************************************************

Jennifer: You did not really throw him out of the house.

Hope: I did.

Jennifer: Hope, you cannot do this. The two of you need each other more than
ever right now.

Hope: I feel sick just looking at him. Believe me, it's better this way --
especially after what happened last night. I just couldn't take it anymore.

Jennifer: What happened?

Hope: Patrick brought me home from the grave, which was very kind of him, and
he stayed with me for a little while just to make sure that I was okay. Next
thing I knew, Bo came barging in like a crazy person, verbally attacking him,
just like he did at the funeral. He was completely out of control. It was
horrible.

Jennifer: Yes, because he is grief-stricken. He is beside himself and so are
you, and he is afraid of losing you, too.

Hope: He lost me... the minute I found out that he lied about Zack's death. I
can never forgive him for that.

Jennifer: Don't say that.

Hope: I don't see how I could ever take him back ever.

*************************************************************

John: North is just twisting everything around, as usual, to his own
advantage. I'll give him credit, though. He's good. But I can stop him -- just
got to get out of here, first.

Kate: Well, Frankie's taking care of that, right?

John: Yeah, he's got court time this morning. I'm sure he'll get the bail,
I'll be free, and then Alex North is history. I'm gonna make sure Marlena knows
the truth about that freak once and for all.

Kate: Well, I don't think it's going to be as easy as you think.

John: Why would you say that? Oh, my God.

*************************************************************

Alex: I just hope that now you realize how disturbed John really is. I mean,
not only is he responsible for Lois' death, but if things had gone the way he
intended, I'd be in jail right now for murder.

Marlena: Thank God he never got away with it.

Alex: But still, Lois had to pay the price.

Marlena: And I was married to him, that I trusted him.

Alex: Well, he was a mercenary for Stefano DiMera -- a hired killer. Deep
down inside he is immune to human suffering. No matter how hard he tries to put
that part of his life behind him, he can't do it. Now, I know that this is
probably difficult for you to hear.. And even though you can't remember it, the
man was married to you, and I'm sure that he was kind to you. But he has
changed. Or should I say he's changed back, reverted to type?

Marlena: I'd still be married to him if you hadn't come along.

Alex: Well, you're not married to him. You won't be with him. You are going
to be with me forever.

Alex: I'm glad you brought that up, because there's something I want you to
see. Newspaper article -- today's paper.

*************************************************************

Mimi: I hate this, Mom. I hate lying to Shawn.

Bonnie: I know, baby, I know. But you have to lie. If Shawn finds out he's
that baby's father, he'll be back with Belle in a heartbeat.

Mimi: Will you stop saying that?

Bonnie: Especially now that she told him she still loves him.

Mimi: But Shawn told her that he loves me.

Bonnie: Of course he does. Just not quite the same way. At least he doesn't
realize it yet. Listen to me. Look at me. You two still can have a very fine
life together and adopt babies of your own -- everything you ever dreamed of.
But you just can't blow it.

*************************************************************

Shawn D.: What decision is that?

Belle: I can't keep lying about my feelings for you. It's tearing me apart! I
love Philip, too, and he deserves better than this. The lies have to stop.

Shawn D.: We cannot keep going back and forth on this, okay? What you and I
had is over. There is no future for us, and there never will be.

Belle: I won't accept that. I cannot do it. I can't live like that.

*************************************************************

[Cellphone ringing]

Billie: Hello?

Chelsea: Mom, it's me. I just talked to Frankie, and it's really bad. It's
even worse than we thought. He thinks I could go to jail for a really long time.
Mom, you have to do something. Please, you have to help me. If you don't, my
life is over.

Billie: I'll do anything for you, baby, you know that.

Chelsea: Is that true? Because you know the only way you really can. Mom, you
have to split up Bo and Hope. She's out for blood -- my blood. And the only
chance I have is if you and dad are together. If you are, then you can convince
him to take my side -- to protect me and keep me out of jail. Mom? Are you
there?

Billie: Yeah, I'm here. I just -- I can't talk right now. I don't want to
wake up your dad.

Chelsea: What? He's with you? Where are you?

Billie: He got upset last night, understandably, and had a little bit too
much to drink. I got him a room to sleep it off.

Chelsea: You guys spent the night together?

Billie: Chelsea, I slept in a chair.

Chelsea: In a chair? Mom, what were you thinking? This is your chance to
finally be with the man you love. And this is my chance, too, to have my parents
back together, finally.

Billie: Listen, I got to go, okay? I'll call you later.

*************************************************************

Jennifer: Listen, you need to take some time. You need to think about this.
Do not close the door on Bo. The two of you cannot lose each other. I mean, do
you have any idea what I would give to have my husband here right now? I would
give anything in the world to have him back right now.

Hope: Jen, I know. But this is a completely different situation. Jack died in
a tragic, tragic accident. He didn't betray you and your trust in him.

Jennifer: I know that. I'm not saying what Bo did was right, but he loves
you. He loves you. He never meant to hurt you. I'm sure of that. So you need to
figure out a way to forgive him because the two of you need each other. You have
lost so much already.

*************************************************************

[Cellphone ringing]

Hope: Excuse me. Hello?

Penny: Hi, Hope? It's Penny. I hope I'm not bothering you. I just wanted to
see if Bo was okay.

Hope: What do you mean, "okay"?

Penny: Well, I know he was in that bar fight last night.

Hope: Bar fight?

Penny: You didn't know?

Hope: No. I guess Bo failed to mention it.

Penny: Well, the guys who took the call didn't arrest him, so that's good. I
guess they knew what a hard day it'd been. Everyone on the force, we're all so
sorry for your loss.

Hope: Thank you.

Penny: If there's anything I can do...

Hope: Can you tell me if Bo was hurt in the fight?

Penny: I wasn't there. I only heard from the guys on the scene. They said
some woman took him home. I thought it was you.

Hope: Bo was out at a bar last night with a woman. Give you one guess who it
was.

*************************************************************

Marlena: I don't believe this. Why didn't you tell me that you were doing it?

Alex: Well, I wanted it to be a surprise. You're not having second thoughts,
are you?

Marlena: No, no. Of course not. I can't wait to renew our vows. I just didn't
think we'd be announcing it to the world, you know?

Alex: Well, I want the whole world to know or at least all of Salem.

Marlena: Uh-huh. They do now. It says here that we're going on an extended
second honeymoon?

Alex: Yes. Excuse me. It certainly does say that, doesn't it? I certainly
hope there are no objections there.

Marlena: Well, I -- no. No, not at all. I can't wait.

Alex: Good. Neither can I. Because I love you so much. In fact, I have
another surprise for you.

John: "The couple plan to renew their vows in a quiet ceremony at St. Luke's
Church, after which they will depart on an extended second honeymoon." Like
hell. He's gonna take her away so he can kill her.

Kate: You don't know that.

John: I know that for a fact. That's exactly what he's gonna do if I don't
stop him. Hey, Frankie, perfect timing. So am I out of here, or what?

Frankie: Kate, could I have a minute with John?

Kate: Well, sure. Look, if you need something, just call me.

John: Yeah. Thanks. Thanks. Okay, what's up with the bail? If there's a
problem with the money, it's no option.

Frankie: It's not about money, John. But there is one hitch, and I don't
think you're gonna like it.

*************************************************************

Caroline: Here it is.

Mimi: Thank you for coming over so quickly. I can't tell you how much I
appreciate it.

Caroline: And I can't tell you how pleased I am you're gonna get married in
this old dress.

Mimi: Well, you know, I looked at some others, but none of them seemed right
because I guess I've just been dreaming of marrying Shawn in the traditional
Brady dress ever since he proposed.

Caroline: Well, it might need a little alteration, but it looked so beautiful
on you when you tried it on at St. Luke's.

Mimi: Oh, thank you. But that was a while ago, so I'd better try it on again.

Caroline: All right.

Mimi: I'll be right back.

*************************************************************

Shawn D.: Look, I am sorry. Okay, if things had been different, but they're
not.

Belle: You're really gonna marry Mimi?

Shawn D.: Yes, I am. She's actually in there right now making plans with her
mother.

Belle: I should go in and help her -- I'm her Matron of Honor.

Shawn D.: No, no --

Belle: It's okay.

*************************************************************

Hope: I don't believe it. I cannot believe that Bo was out with Billie at a
bar the same day that we buried our son. If there was any doubt whose side he
was on before, there isn't anymore.

Jennifer: Listen, don't jump to conclusions. I'm sure that Bo has an
explanation.

Hope: I don't need an explanation. It's so obvious what's happening here.. As
far as I'm concerned, she can have him.

Jennifer: You don't mean that.

Hope: Don't I?

Jennifer: No, you donít. I saw your face when you were on the phone.

Hope: What about my face?

Jennifer: When you heard that Bo was in a fight, you were worried -- I saw it
on your face.

Hope: Okay, so I was worried. Of course I was worried.

Jennifer: Yes, you're worried because you love him. I mean, Bo being drunk,
getting in a bar fight -- that's not like him. It's because he is hurting as
much as you are right now. That is why you need to go to him -- you need to talk
to him and not make some decision you're gonna end up regretting the rest of
your life.

[Cellphone ringing]

Hope: Now who could it be? Hello? Yes, this is Hope Brady. Is there a
problem? Excuse me? Which motel? No, I'm sure that my husband made the charge,
but thank you ever so much for calling and checking. Thanks. That was the
credit-card company, calling to verify a charge at the Parkway Budget Motel.
That's where Bo spent the night. The No-Tell Motel.

Jennifer: Okay, so -- so he stayed the night in a motel. He had to sleep
somewhere.

Hope: Somewhere like that?

Jennifer: I don't know, but I think you're reading into this. But you know
where he is. So, we're gonna get some coffee, and we're gonna go over there, and
you're gonna talk to him.

Hope: What if he is with Billie?

Jennifer: He's not with Billie.

Hope: I'll never forget that he was more concerned about her and Chelsea when
our son died than he was about me.

Jennifer: That's not true. Bo made a mistake, but there is no way that he
cares about Billie more than he cares about you. Now, I am taking you over there
right now. We're going to the motel, and you're gonna see that he is not with
Billie.

*************************************************************

Chelsea: [Thinking] Oh, my God. How perfect is this?

Bo: Okay, the Tiny Man is out like a light. It's just you and me, baby.

Hope: Whoo! [Sighs] Have I told you lately just... how much I love you?

Bo: Uh-huh. But I could stand hearing that again.

Hope: Yeah, I bet. You're not only the perfect husband...you're the perfect
dad.

Bo: Yeah, right.

Hope: Mm-hmm. And I would have to say that I am the luckiest woman on earth.

Chelsea: Mom, you're never gonna believe this. Hope is on her way over there.
She's coming to the motel.

Billie: What?! How does she know where we are? You don't even know where we
are.

Chelsea: Just trust me. She does, okay? This is your chance. If she finds out
that you and dad slept together --

Billie: We didn't sleep together, Chelsea.

Chelsea: Well, even if she thinks you guys slept together, she's never gonna
take him back. You can finally be with the man you love, and dad will finally be
100% committed to our family. And he'll do whatever it takes to keep me out of
jail if he knows that he and Hope are completely finished. Please, Mom, you have
to do this. It's the only way.

Billie: If Hope sees us here together...their marriage could be over.

Chelsea: That's what I'm saying.

*************************************************************

John: You got bad news? Let's hear it.

Frankie: The Judge will grant bail, but under only one condition -- and that
is you stay away from Alex and Marlena.

John: Come on! North is the threat to Marlena. He's making plans to take her
away right now. If you think I'm gonna let that happen, you're out of your mind.

Frankie: Don't do anything you're gonna regret.

John: How can I regret protecting my wife from a killer?

Frankie: All I'm saying is you could end up pushing her further into his arms
while you end up back here in jail. Okay?

Officer: Looks like you're a free man, Mr. Black.

John: All right. Thanks for the warning, Frankie. Hey, listen, relax, have a
beer.

Frankie: Something tells me he's not gonna listen.

*************************************************************

Marlena: Another surprise? What is it? Tell me what it is.

Alex: Hang on, hang on, hang on. [Grunts]

Marlena: Oh, my goodness. Oh. Alex.

Alex: Come on. Open it.

Marlena: Oh! Oh.

Alex: Now, I realize you don't remember this, but this -- this is your
wedding dress. And I've also -- I've arranged for someone to come in and make
any alterations or whatever needs to be done.

Marlena: Alex, it's so beautiful. So beautiful. Mmm. Mm.

Alex: You don't have to thank me for it. Just seeing you in this dress again
is gonna be like a dream come true for me. So, come on, try it on. Come on.

Belle: What am I gonna do? You told me not to say anything, and I did. I told
him that I still loved him last night.

Caroline: You told him?

Belle: I couldn't help it. I couldn't keep it inside one more second.

Caroline: What did he say?

Belle: The right thing. I know that he still loves me. And he told me that I
belong with Philip and our baby, and that he's gonna marry Mimi and that I need
to forget about him.

Caroline: Belle...he's right. No matter how much this hurts, what Shawn said
is true. Honey, you have to...accept it's over between you two, and that your
future's with Philip.

Belle: [Crying softly]

Caroline: Shawn is gonna marry Mimi, and the two of them are gonna be forever
together. So, for everybody's sake, darling, you just have to let him go.

*************************************************************

Kate: What are you talking about? Where did you hear that?

Mimi: I overheard Belle and Shawn up on the roof last night. Not overheard. I
was spying.

Kate: Belle actually said that she's still in love with Shawn?

Mimi: Yeah, and she was all crying and emotional. It was this whole big
scene. She totally spilled her guts.

Kate: Okay, fine. Then we just have to move things right along. You have to
marry Shawn as soon as possible because there is no way that Belle can find out
that Shawn is the father of her baby.

Mimi: Okay, but --

Bonnie: No buts. What Shawn doesn't know won't hurt him.

*************************************************************

Caroline: Respect your marriage, Belle. It's not as if you don't love Philip.
You told me you do. You have a beautiful baby girl together, so you have a
future. So do Shawn and Mimi. That's four lives. Think about that.

*************************************************************

Shawn D.: Wow. You look beautiful.

Bonnie: I think we can safely put any doubts to rest. Anyone can see by the
look on that man's face that is head over heels in love with the woman wearing
this dress.

*************************************************************

Alex: Uh-uh. Don't worry. Not looking. Just passing through. I know it's bad
luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.

Marlena: Oh, Alex, you're so cute!

John: Marlena, you can't do it. You c-- you can't go away with him. Oh, my
God. What is that bastard up to now?

Marlena: I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't want you here. I
want you to go right now.

Alex: [Thinking] This is shaping up even better than I'd planned.

*************************************************************

Chelsea: [Sighing] Oh, God. Please let this work. It has to work. I don't
care what Billie says. I'll do whatever it takes to split up Bo and Hope for
good. Otherwise, my life is over.

*************************************************************

Billie: God forgive me.

Bo: I love you, Fancy Face. I love you so much.

*************************************************************

Hope: I-I don't know if I should do this. I really donít.

Jennifer: You're here. So, if for no other reason, just make sure that Bo is
okay. What?

Hope: He must have been drunk. He didn't even close the door.

Jennifer: Well, even better. So go right on in. I'll wait right here for you.
Okay? Go on.

Hope: Okay. Bo?

*************************************************************

Belle: You still want to be with me. Just admit it.

*************************************************************

Bonnie: You'll be coming home every night to a beautiful wife and oodles of
money. What could be more perfect than that?

*************************************************************

Hope: It is over between us. No, it is over! I can't ever take him back.
